2008 Tulsa Area Triathlons/Duathlon Status
February 12, 2008
By Scott Ostrem, President TAT
The TAT Board is excited to annouce we have awarded
the race production and management rights for Spring Fever Triathlon, Tulsa
Triathlon, and Tulsa Duathlon to Core Multisport (Spring Fever) and Fleet Feet
(Tulsa Tri and Tulsa Du). While the finer details are still being worked out,
Core Multisport and Fleet Feet will assume all responsibilities and benefits
associated with the three multisport races. This partnership between TAT and
Core Multisport as well as TAT and Fleet Feet will have a number of benefits to
the TAT club and TAT Board. Foremost, the Board is now free to focus on
training events, social events, and the fun task of introducing new triathletes
to the sport. We are aware that the decision and action to outsource the races
may be a big leap for many of you. We believe it is truly in the club's best
interest, and will in the end help grow the sport of triathlon in Tulsa. Please
welcome Core Multisport and Fleet Feet to the elite group of businesses who have
produced multisport events in Tulsa over the years. Thank you, Scott Ostrem,
President of TAT

Help TAT win SMW Club Championship for 2008.
TAT is participating in the SouthMidWest REgion - USATriathlon Club Champion points race for 2008. All you need to do is be on the official TAT Club-Member Roster at least Three days before a USAT Sanctioned race in the SMW Region (or boarering state). We have a dedicated member who will take it from there--if you are doing a local race, he'll find your name and results. If you go to some race farther out, let him know you'll be racing so he can confirm your finish. Everyone gets half a point just for participating, and winners of age groups get more. But, every point helps. The score table for Spring Fever is HERE, just to give you an idea.
For more information, or to tell us you race schedule, contact Robert Flagor.
